New Color Libra and Clara now advertised in US

I have a question regarding those who use the LC already:

If you read web articles (transferred with the pocket-app), and while reading want to make a short note that reminds you of something, or if you want to export a highlighted text: what is the most convenient way to get that text from the Kobo to the PC?

But I’d rather not see a rainbow dancing across my black-and-white manga. LOL I imagine the effect would be either pronounced or reduced depending on the screen size in relationship to the image being displayed. I’ll have to play with that rainbow toggle somebody mentioned above.

I'm old enough to remember the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime when it was new to the world.

The rainbow toggle works.. but I think it reduced the DPI of the manga in the process. Now I know why the toggle is there - Rakuten is Japanese. Newer manga that uses primarily digital drawing has little to no issue since they're not using screentone, but older stuff or by older artists? You might get quite a bit of that, especially if it was designed for print release first.

I’m afraid I remember watching Astro Boy on our B&W TV when I was five. *iamold.jpg*

The newer manga may not be using Deleter“screentone”, per se, but they do still love their screentone effects. I encountered the rainbow on a newer manga. I haven’t read any manga since I posted this, but I hope to soon.

What I’d love is a Nickelmenu option to toggle rainbow mode to make that process just a little faster.

Just got the Clara Color today. Wow the screen is DARK. I read without backlight when I can, and this thing looks ridiculous without a backlight unless you're in blazing sunlight outside, and even then, it's not good.
